Holmsdale’s popular After School and Holiday Club offer a range of exciting activities, from kite flying to STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) activities. They are based in the Brambles, although for much of 2020 and 2021 they spent their time outside!

We cater for children before and after school, taking them to and collecting them from local schools- Ibstock infants, Ibstock Juniors and Newton Burgoland. We are open from 7.30am and offer breakfast and a range of activities to choose from. We collect children from school at the end of the day and offer them tea. We then have time for exciting indoor and outdoor activities or opportunity to do homework until we close at 6pm.

Please apply early for out of school club, as we are very busy.

Our Holiday Club is popular, as we offer long days (up to 7.30am to 6pm), unlike many holiday club providers. We offer on site and off site activities throughout the school holidays. Please ask for more details of activities planned for the next holiday, but be quick as the spaces often book up fast!

We are trialling a reduced rate for families who need regular care throughout the summer- enquire for details!
